One of the most remarkable in
stances of physical training that l
ever knew occurred in Pike county.
There was a farmer who was a friend
of mine near Hollonville, who own
ed very fine COW which had a most
promising heifer or calf. The COW
died while the calf was very young
and the calf had to be raised by
hand. While the poor little orphan
heifer was passing through the first
stages Of grief for the irreparable
loss of her kind and tender mother,
she would seek sympathy from
every source, and early every morn
ing when my farmer friend would
rise to feed his stock the little or
phan would meet him at the door
as he came out and rub up against
him and hold up her little black
nose to he caressed, and the farmer,
touched by these demonstrations of
affection and being kind hearted
man, he overilowed with sympathy
for the motherless calf, and with
tears in his eyes he took it up under
his arm and carried it with him to
the lot and fed the stock, and then
would carry the calf back to the
house. In the meantime the far
mer's wife had prepared food for
the calf and then would feed it.
Every morning this was repeated
until il became confirmed habit Of
the farmer to carry the calf to the
lot and then back to the house to
be fed, and it became Il part of the
calls existence, and it would not eat
at all without this treatment. And
thus it went on; years passed and
the heifer grew to be large COW,
weighing 800 pounds, and her
growth was so gradual that it was
imperceptible to the farmer, as he
had accustomed himself to carry
the daily increasing weight and it
had never occurred to him that there
was any more effort necessary to car
ny the full grown COW than there
was to carry her little motherless
orphan heifer Yet strange to say
that if the farmer was called on to
raise weight of 200 pounds he
could not do it, but an SOO-pound
COW was an easy load, simply be-
cause his physical training was in
that line.

THE TORTILITA MINES.
THE HARTFORD rosr ON THEIR GREATNESS.
One of the richest Mining Properties
in the world.

SPECIAL DEsrATcH.-Hartford Ct, Aug
II, lSS7.-Thc Post of this city prints in
to-day's issue full page article on the
Tortilita Gold and'Silver Mines of which
Mr.. JOSEPH II. REAL, (who is being
urged for Vice-President on the ticket
with CLEVELAND as the.representatiye of
the Agricultural and Laboring interests)
is president. The Post shows that the
Tortilita Company have one of the great
est mining properties in America and it
estimates that with the forty stamp mill
that is now being arranged for, which
will crush 100 tons Of ore per day, that
the company can earn over one hundred
thousand dollars per month net, or over
one hundred per cent per year on its
capital stock which would make the
shares that are now selling to subscribers
for ~ each, the par value, at the COM
pany's office, 81 Broadway, New York,
worth over twenty dollars each, while
this result can be again doubled by adj
ditional stamps as the company have an
inexhaustible supply of rich ore. A
second Virginia City is perdictcd in con-
nection with the Tortilitas as the com
pany have twelve developed and proven
mines out of which over $4,000 in
bullion was taken while the exploring
developing work was going on which,
together with the prices now being re-
allied for the shares so soon after they
were put upon the market aae unexampl-
ed facts in the history of mining. The
Post pronounces the Tortilitas one of the
best and cleanest cut enterprises that
the public ever was invited to invest in.
The stock is attracting much attention
throughout New England and is being
largely taken for investments by bankers,
merchants, farmers, and by working
men and women. 1t is announced that
the subscription books will close in few
days preparatory to the stock being call
ed on the Consolidated Stock Exchange
The offices of the company are at 81
Broadway, New York and the mines arc
in the richest mineral district ofArizona

Town COUNCIL have started out
right. They believe that the tax
payers want to see some evidence of
the way in which their money is
spent from time to time. The policy
of grading Main street has long been
limited at, but not until this week
was the work actually begun. Not
only will it make the street better
thoroughfare, but it will add hun
bred fold to the town. Taxpayers
do not mind paying out money
when they can see to what good use
it is put. While the Council has set
ON foot a movement that will be
lauded by every good citizen, they
should not neglect to look after the
cutters. These should be so cleaned
out and paved as to make almost
useless the annual cleaning and cut
ting down of grass. Cutters so curb
ed and laid will resist all heavy rains,
and the more efiectually carry off
the water. Unless this is done a
heavy expense annually will be the
result.

How Spiders Moult.

When spider is preparing to
moult it stops eating for several days
and fastens itself by a short line of
web to one of the main lines of its
snare, which holds it firmly while it
proceeds to undress. The skin cracks
all around the thorax, and is held
only by the front edges. Next the
abdomen is uncovered Now comes
the struggle to clear the legs; it works
and kicks vigorously and seems to
have Very hard work, but continued
perseverance for about fifteen min
utes brings it out of the old dress,
and it seems almost lifcless and is
limp and helpless for several min
utes, but gradually comes back to
life and looks brighter and prettier
than before.
